President's Report
After a considerable downpour the afternoon before, we were fortunate to have a fine but very hot & humid day for our shotgun start in the final single stableford round qualifying for the Savannah Cup.  (The Savannah Cup results will be posted when Colin Johannsen has finished his esoteric calculations!)  83 men & 17 ladies turned up to a course in good condition & greens which were coming along well although slow. Congratulations to the green keeper.

Thanks to Tom Bryce for preparing the board & NTPs for us, to new Manager Phil for running a much needed drinks cart, to Erica for preparing sandwiches & generally looking after us & to Savannah Lifestyle Resorts for sponsoring the day. We were pleased Melody Lucas from Savannah came down with one of her directors, Steve Battistin, to present the prizes, although she couldn't play.

The game next Tuesday is our last for the year & is followed by our breakup lunch. It is at Cairns & is a 2 ball Ambrose with an 8.30 shotgun start, sponsored by Easylift. Cost for the day is $35 with lunch, but if you are unable to stay for the lunch our normal $10 comp fee applies. Melody will also be there to play & also present the Savannah Cup trophies. See you there.

RAFFLE – the last tickets for the progressive raffle will be sold at registration next week. So far we have 14 prizes ranging from golf equipment to a tapestry. All prizes are donated, so if your ticket is a lucky one, pick well as you will not be able to exchange them.
